Hi!

I tried to use the mod_dvb on my Beta 1. In the current way, they are 
unusable. I will cite guido draheim, who has made the dvb-modules-1.0.0 RPM 
for 9.1. 

me:

Guido:
---------
easy. The cooker kernel does only contain a copy of the latest
_sources_ but not the build environment of dvb-drivers. While
the dvb-driver developers have changed their build hints, the
cooker kernel make-snippet has not been adapted. Among the
changes is a new way that .o parts are re-linked into final
kernel modules. It does now have a core part and a list of
frontends. That's what the conflicts come from, it's not
advisable to have both versions of modularization around.
----------

To make it short: The build environment needs to be updated to get these 
things working. The way it is currently done, compiles, but is obsolete and 
doesn't work. 

I will try to get patches from guido , that will fix that. 
But if someone is capable to fix that, it would be nice to do so, since I 
don't know how fast I can get the patches from guido and it would be nice to 
test it with beta3. 

Regards

Steffen
